- Nickel-Catalyzed Amide Bond Formation from Methyl Esters
-
Despite being one of the most important and frequently run chemical reactions, the synthesis of amide bonds is accomplished primarily by wasteful methods that proceed by stoichiometric activation of one of the starting materials. We report a nickel-catalyzed procedure that can enable diverse amides to be synthesized from abundant methyl ester starting materials, producing only volatile alcohol as a stoichiometric waste product. In contrast to acid- and base-mediated amidations, the reaction is proposed to proceed by a neutral cross coupling-type mechanism, opening up new opportunities for direct, efficient, chemoselective synthesis.

- Radical fixation of functionalized carbon resources: α-sp 3C - H carbamoylation of tertiary amines with aryl isocyanates
-
A new carbamoylation of tertiary amines is reported. This rare C - H transformation features the direct generation of α-aminoalkyl radicals from tertiary amines, followed by the addition of the resultant nucleophilic radicals to isocyanates, enabling unique access to N,N-dialkylated amino acid derivatives. The authors put forward a mechanistic proposal that is based on the isolation of borinamides produced by capturing nitrogen radical intermediates with Et3B. The present transformation provides a novel one-step process for producing mepivacaine, a clinically important local anesthetic, from readily available materials.
